The Slocum glider produced by Teledyne Webb Research is the genesis of all present ocean gliders. Slocum gliders carry the largest number and greatest variety of payloads of any glider AUV and is designed to be a sensor platform with a dry modular center payload bay. Wetted bays in the bow and stern provide more opportunities for sensor loading. This modularity along with the energy efficient buoyancy propulsion system provides the Slocum with a most flexible system for integrating sensors for optimal ocean observation.

The Slocum glider is buoyancy driven to enable long range and duration remote water column observation for military applications and can be deployed and recovered from any size vessel with minimal time on station.

Once deployed, it can easily be controlled from anywhere through web-based piloting tools. This allows fleets of gliders to be operated remotely with minimal personnel and infrastructure.

A self-contained, low logistics, modular survey platform capable of delivering high quality data while operating from vessels of opportunity or from the shore.​ The AUV's innovative modular design allows for swift reconfiguration between dives. Its unparalleled ease of use and exceptional versatility make it a standout in the market. The Gavia AUV system excels in performing a wide range of tasks without compromising on performance or data quality.

Endurance: Dependent on speed and exact configuration. Typical defense configuration 7-8 hours at 3 knots per rechargeable battery module. Typically, 5-6 hours at 3 knots per rechargeable battery module with all sensors (including swath bathymetry). Vehicle can be operated with up to 3 batteries for increased endurance or batteries can be field swapped for continuous operations.

Navigation: High accuracy DGPS ready receiver
High-precision DVL-aided Inertial Navigation System (INS) with Teledyne RDI Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) and direct sound velocity meter.
Positioning accuracy can be maintained over longer duration deployments by utilizing Ultra Short Baseline (USBL).​

Teledyne’s Advanced Profiling Explorers have provided physical oceanographic data for over 30
years. With over 10,000 floats built, and millions of oceanographic profiles, Teledyne’s APEX
floats provide near real-time data for inclusion into warfighter models.

Operations with greater quantities and higher-energy hardware/sensors:

-Greater volume for additional batteries
-Greater internal space available for sensors and other hardware
-Multiple locations available for external hardware integrations
-Up to 8 sensors can be operated simultaneously

Modularity - The vehicle offers several payload ports that provide serial communication, Ethernet, and power. These ports can be used for field swappable sensors. In addition, removable batteries and data storage enable rapid turn-around to maximize operating time.

Payload sensors - the vehicle can be customized to include other sensors in addition to the standard payload listed:

Teledyne Benthos Sub bottom profiler (SBP)
Teledyne RESON Multi-Beam Echo Sounder (MBES)
EdgeTech dual frequency side scan sonar (SSS)
CathX high resolution camera, laser scanning, and strobes
Teledyne Rd Instruments Conductivity Temperature Depth sensor (CTD)
Teledyne BlueView forward looking sonar for advanced obstacle avoidance

Teledyne BlueView 2D imaging sonar systems deliver real-time, high-resolution video-like imagery, even in very low and zero-visibility conditions. In clear water conditions, situational awareness is significantly increased beyond the optically imaged scene. Fast update rates, high acoustic frequencies, compact size, and industry-leading target tracking make our products the preferred choice in leading-edge multibeam sonar. With the widest range of models available, we offer you the most choices in field-of-view, ran​ge, and depth. Teledyne BlueView makes using your 2D Multibeam Imaging Sonar easy with “plug-and-go" operation and multiple deployment options, including: ROV Systems, Diver Hand-Held Systems, Boat-Mounted Systems, AUV Systems, Portable Tripod Systems, Fixed Position Systems.

The Osprey AUV is built upon the proven Gavia​ modular design and has a 324mm/12 3/4" diameter to accommodate additional energy and sensor options to meet demanding applications with a 2000m depth rating. The Osprey utilizes a fully modular design based on the Teledyne QuickLock mechanism and Teledyne Vehicle Bus.

Features include an efficient rim drive thruster, removable data pod, increased capacity battery modules, enhanced obstacle avoidance capability and more capable and customizable sensors, autonomy and payloads to meet a variety of mission requirements from defense, commercial and scientific users.

The SeaBat F50 focused beams, high ping rate and bandwidth combine to provide the user with superior resolution and image quality. The use of multibeam sonar technology allows for nearly instantaneous update of the sonar image, which provides information to the user faster than mechanically scanning sonars.

The SeaBat F50 makes full use of Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) hardware and software to increase cost-effectiveness with a well-defined path for future upgrades and expansion.​

Unique combination of wide sector coverage and narrow beamwidth to support applications including MCM, classification of underwater intruders or support of offshore construction - flexibility of use ensures you get the most from your investment
